Newsom urges Democrats to focus on the midterms. But Texans are thinking about 2028.

(Politico) Gavin Newsom, rallying Democrats in deep-red Texas on Saturday, urged the party base to set its sights on returning Democrats to power in 2026 and 2028, as he returned to ground zero of the national gerrymandering wars.

The California governor and likely 2028 presidential contender spent little time in the hourlong event in Houston soaking in his recent redistricting win, instead railing against President Donald Trump and his administration for “rewriting history” while calling on Democrats to keep turning out for critical races still on the horizon.

“You didn’t just have your backs here, you had our backs in the state of California,” Newsom told the crowd. “We were looking for a fight, not only that we can win, but a fight worth fighting for. And that is why I’m here.”
